When I was creating who I was, it was alright. Danielle Leslie is a brand, of course from scratch is a brand. And you know any brand brands have guidelines, they got brand colors, they have a vibe, they have the three adjectives that describe it, they have a motto, they have an audience, an avatar, and I got really locked into this brand I created. And me shifting into remembering who I was, was me being like, Yo, like, I'm just who I be like, from moment to moment, it probably coincided with, you know, being indoors a lot, having run the business for a while and realizing oh, there's this question of who am I? Without the business? Who am I without these relationships? Just who am I welcome the twist my dad calls me dragon lady, not for nothing. How Lynn? When I was having a baby, my friend, when you were having a baby boy, you know I was having the baby, you're gonna get all the smoke right now. I mean, when's the last time you saw SEO like this? Hello? No, I'm saying we got the pearls, we got the whatever, ripped jeans. Um, this is me being inspired. And this is me being inspired. And actually remember at the beginning of that summer, I wrote it. And I recently went back and read it in my diary I wrote, I'm only going to say yes, to what feels true. What felt magical was like, realizing that my no gave so much more power to my Yes. And I learned how to say no, like, with authority, and with grace that summer, and therefore I went. And it was hard. And it took me years to come out of it. Now that would have been a really easy place for me to stay to get in and stay stuck. Because I lost self worth. Confidence was shot. I was a financial planner that the value of what you have is when you sell it to someone, right? And you can like cash out. So this whole concept is really simple. Buy own equity and assets, grow the value of the asset, sell some or all of the assets. It's like really simple, but no one's doing it in business. You recommended a book called wanting and use posted on your story. And I was like, Oh, this looks interesting. A book did similar things for me. And I read it at the right time. So like it shows up in people's lives when like when you need it, right. Your legacy has, you know, been brought to life through me and like my mission, and it's a big core part of my mission. Do you remember what you used to pray for? For me? And just so at night? Well, compassion? Yes. Yeah. That's just very important and that you share yourself that meaning. You sent these things. It is a step by step by step by step. And I found myself in a lot of resistance. I tried really hard to be this chief executive officer. I am not a CEO. I'm a CIO. And for me, cio means I'm a chief inspiration officer. I'm a chief innovation officer and a chief investment officer. I was like, no, no, this physical ceiling right here, already hit it. It's done. Like there's, there's nothing else to do. I am here to be able to express everything that they live that they went through, and I'm a vessel in this moment. And it was a great moment of detaching from the tears and the emotion I was feeling. So I think one thing we share in common is like a fascination route identity. I'm working through just identifying the different parts of myself. So I started sort of like journaling a little bit about like different sides of me. And they sort of started forming into characters, the one I'm probably most embodying today. And then sometimes it's like a mix, but I have like a Earth warrior queen, we share this interest, I think in identity and also alchemy. Yeah, because building your personal brand, you're always stepping into a new identity, whether you like it's conscious or not, we're, we're always and if you're an entrepreneur, and you're in your you realize like how much of you is in your business. And so if you're always evolving yourself, you're constantly shifting and changing identities and moving through and I look at my own my own life, like oh, man, I've moved through so many different identities throughout my career in my life, and I'll say something about who I am, what I believe in, what I stand for what's important to me. And so when we think about web three NF T's I don't want you to get caught up in the verbiage or it's techie or it's confusing. Just know that the reason it's such a quote unquote big deal. and why it seems to be spreading like wildfire across your social media feeds is because it's all linked to our self expression. You are a futurist. And you really do understand human behavior, what drives us, it's slightly cringy. And I joke about it now that that was the video. But it's also really cool to see how you progress as a human is a really cool kind of indicator of like, wow, I've really changed, I realized that is such a powerful key to marketing is really authentically showing a result that people want, versus talking about the result in grief. You still have to see the sign, like you will feel the darkness and that is a part of the healing process. But we must journey with it and you can't journey with it in your bed. And so your success is my success. And my success is your success. Though we're competitive, you know, is that never let that separate, separate us again which applies to us. But actually, like felt pride, I was like, I would love to see Asher and I was like, let's go. What happened this summer. That since 2000 is a place where you can embody the past, present and future you now I have always been driven by the future and existed and lived in the future. And since 3000 brings all the things together where I learned, you know, the future is amazing. But what happens when we actually recognize that the lessons of the past the awareness of the present, and the certainty of the future all come together. So join me and inviting your future self. Welcome to send 3000
